Thanks for your response to my offer. My name is Mr. Garry Jones, the Exchange Director of the Nat west Bank branch address at 5 The Mall, London Road, Swanley Kent BR8 7WL.Please be informed that for obvious reasons, this project MUST be handled with utmost regards, importance and confidentiality. I got your contact details via the Integrity peoples database search tool and I thank God for that. And moreover instead of giving yourself reasons why you can't, you should give yourself reasons why you can because that's apparently the key to success.

I would like to intimate you with certain facts that I believe would be of interest to you, in 1997 the subject matter, Late Mr. Jerry Thomas came to our bank to engage in business discussions with our private banking division. He informed us that he had a portfolio of $12,500,000 United state dollars, which he wished to, have us turn (invest) on his behalf. I was the officer assigned to this case; I made numerous suggestions in line with my duties de-facto operations officer, especially given the volume of funds he wishes to put in our bank. We met numerous occasions prior to any investment being placed.

I encouraged him to consider various growth funds with prime ratings. The favored route in my advice to customers is to start by assessing data on 6,000 traditional stocks and bond managers, equity investment as well as 2000 alternative investments mutual funds. Based on my advice, we spun the money around various investments and opportunities and, made attractive margins within few month of operation, the accrued profits at this point stood over $10 million United States dollars, this margin was not the full potential of the funds but he desired low risk guaranteed on returns in investments. In mid, 1999, he asked that the money be liquidated because he needed to make an urgent investment requiring cash in the United Kingdom. He directed that I liquidate all his investments and had cash deposited with Natwest bank (fixed deposit scheme) with 90 days turnover.

I informed him Natwest bank London would have to make special arrangements to have this done and in other not to circumvent due process, the bank would have to make 6.5% deduction from the funds to cater for banking and statutory charges. He complained about the charges but later came around when I explained to him the complexities of the task he was asking us. I contacted the affiliate of the London stock exchange and other assets management companies with our bank officials and expedited the transaction then.

We undertook all the processes and made sure I followed his precise instructions to the letter and had the funds deposited with Natwest bank under fixed deposit scheme. However Jerry Thomas told me he wanted the money as soon as he got into the United Kingdom.

This was the communication we had, this transpired around 25th of September 1999. Aftermath of this event precisely March 24th 2002 news came from reliable source that Mr. Jerry Thomas was killed in a plane crash in Birmingham here in the UK. In addition In Sept 2004, I got a call from Nat west Bank Remittance department informing my office about the inactivity of that particular portfolio. This was an astounding position as far as I was concerned, given the fact that I managed the International private banking sector I was the supervisor who knew about the deposit at Nat west Bank Treasury Department London, and I could not understand why Jerry Thomas had not come forward to claim his deposit. I made futile efforts to locate Late Mr. Jerry Thomas . Four days later, information started to trickle in. A person who suited his description was declared dead in an AUTO ACCIDENT TRAUMA in Birmingham England. We were soon enough; able to identify the body and cause of death was confirmed.

The bank immediately launched an investigation into possible surviving next of kin to alert about the situation and also to come forward to claim his estate. In the field of private banking, opening an account with us means no one will know of its existence, accounts are rarely held under a name; depositors use numbers and Pin codes to make the Accounts anonymous. This bank also gives the choice to depositors of having their mail sent to them or held at the bank itself, ensuring that there are no traces of the account and as I said, rarely do they nominate next of kin.

Private banking clients apart from not nominating next of kin also usually in most cases leave wills in our care, in this case; Mr. Jerry Thomas died intestate. In line with our internal processes for account holders who have passed away, we instituted our own investigations in good faith to determine who should have right to claim the estate. This investigation has for the past years been unfruitful. We have scanned every continent and used our private investigation affiliate companies to get to the root of the problem.

Importantly my official capacity dictates that I am the only party to supervise the investigation and the only party to receive the results of the investigation. So you can see why I feel I should initiate this financial project and expedite it under due process of the law to make you the next of kin and in line be the beneficiary to these funds.

According to practice, Nat west Bank Remittance Department will by the end of this quarter broadcast a request for statements of claim to Nat west Bank Treasury in London, failing to receive viable claims they will most probably revert the deposit back to Nat west Bank capital reserves as unclaimed funds . This will result in the money entering the Nat west Bank Headquarter accounting system and the portfolio will be out of my hands and out of the private banking division. This will not happen if I have my way. What I wish to relate to you will smack off unethical practice but I want you to understand something. It is only an outsider to the banking world who finds the internal politics of the banking world aberrational. The world of private banking especially is fraught with huge rewards for those who occupy certain offices and oversee certain portfolios. You should have begun by now to put together the general direction of what I propose.

There is $28,700,000 deposited in Nat west Bank London, I alone have the deposit details and they will release the deposit to no one unless I instruct and endorse such transaction for Remittance Department to remit the credit to eligible beneficiary. I know of the existence of this deposit for as far as Nat west Bank London is concerned, the transaction with Late Mr. Jerry Thomas concluded when I sent the funds to the Beneficiary account, all outstanding interactions in relation to the file are just customer services and due process. Remittance Department of Nat west Bank has no single idea of the history or nature of the deposit. They are simply awaiting instructions to release the deposit to any party that comes forward. This is the situation. This bank has spent great amounts of money trying to track this man's family; they have investigated for months and have found no family. The investigation has come to an end.

Perhaps I would have gone ahead to ask the funds be released to me, but that would have drawn a straight line in my involvement in claiming the deposit. I assure you that I could have the deposit released to you within a few days. I will simply inform the bank of the final closing of the file relating to Late Mr. Jerry Thomas I will then officially communicate with Present you with Application of Claim Form and I am aware of the consequences of this proposal. I ask that if you find no interest in this project that you should discard this mail. I ask that you do not be vindictive and destructive. If my offer is of no appeal to you, delete this message and forget I ever contacted you. Do not destroy my career because you do not approve of my proposal.

You may not know this but people like me who have made tidy sums out of comparable situations run the whole private banking sector. I am not a criminal and what I do, I do not find against good conscience, this may be hard for you to understand, but the dynamics of my industry dictates that I make this move. Such opportunities only come once in a lifetime. I cannot let this chance pass me by, for once I find myself in total control of my destiny. These chances won’t pass me by. I ask that you do not destroy my chance, if you will not work with me let me know and let me move on with my life but do not destroy me. I am a family man and this is an opportunity to provide them with new opportunities.

There is a reward for this project and it is a task well worth undertaking. I have evaluated the risks and the only risk I have here is from you refusing to work with me and alerting my bank. I am the only one who knows of this situation, good fortune has blessed you with a name that has planted you into the center of relevance in my life. Let’s share the blessing.

If you give me positive signals, I will initiate this process towards a conclusion. I wish to inform you that should you contact me via official channels; I will deny knowing you and about this project. I repeat. I do not want you contacting me through my official phone lines nor do I want you contacting me through my official email account.

Contact me only through the numbers. I do not want any direct link between you and me. My official lines are not secure lines as they are periodically monitored to assess our level of customer care in line with our Total Quality Management Policy. Please observe this instruction religiously. Please, again, note I am a family man; I have a wife and children. I send you this mail not without a measure of fear as to what the consequences are, but I know within me that nothing ventured is nothing gained and that success and riches never come easy or on a platter of gold. This is the one truth I have learned from my private banking clients. Do not betray my confidence. If we can be of one accord, we should plan a meeting, soon.

You would have to apply to the National Westminster Bank as the late customer? Next of kin/beneficiary for the release of the funds. A draft copy would be sent to you as a format for writing the application, which would be done on your personal or company letter headed paper and sent via email to the bank for approvals. This is where I will come in, to facilitate the application processes and ensure that funds are approved for release in the shortest possible time.

I would appreciate if you let me know your thoughts about this and also confirm your willingness and ability to take part in this project adding also that this is an offer and acceptance criteria, it is no must we have to do this together. When the £15, 000,000 (fifteen million British Pounds) is approved by the bank they normally payable in United States dollars (for NON-UK residents only); this would amount to about US $25,000,000 USD (Twenty- five million US Dollars).

At the conclusion of this business, you will be given 35% of the total sum, 60% will be for us, 5% will be For expenses both parties might have incurred in the Course of this transaction. Depending on your response, I would either send you the draft application with instructions on how to move forward or close our discussions. Feel free to ask questions (if any).

Furthermore, I will be sending you a copy of the Deposit Certificate of these funds and The Deposit Slip made by Late Mr. Jerry Thomas to prove to you the legitimacy of this transaction.. Finally, you are required to send me your direct mobile telephone number where you can be reached at all time for further concrete details regards and more so, I will be sending you the two first pages of my international pass port for proper identification and trust purpose regarding this transaction upon the receipt of your contact information and you will be required to reciprocate for trust purpose as well.

I wait your urgent response. I hope to establish a cordial business relationship with you.

Regards,

Garry Jones
